At the press conference prior to the away game in Valencia, the manager was positive about the Board’s decision to bring the debate about advertising on the shirt to the Assembly on Saturday, and stressed the values of the Fundació.

The boss expressed his satisfaction with the board’s decision to ask the members representatives to decide on the Qatar sponsorship issue: “it’s very good that we debate this and also a very good decision of the board’s to let the members decide on it. It’s one of the healthy democratic values we have. I can tell you that I lived for two years in Qatar and my family and I received wonderful treatment. Qatar is opening up to the Western world and I know the efforts that the Fundació is putting in to do some really good things. I think that we often don’t understand the Muslim world –nor they us".

He carried on by saying: "Qatar is on a roll right now, with the World Cup going there, and their bid for the Olympics, and that is the result of an extraordinary effort that the country is making to open itself to the world, whilst maintaining its own traditions".

Guardiola said "These are difficult times and the board has the obligation to search for alternatives. Qatar is the most open Muslim country and the closest to the Western democracies, but they need time".

Guardiola concluded by saying: "If the members decide to continue, then we will still have the sponsorship of a foundation which is doing things for research and for culture. If not, then we will move ahead with different resources. Whatever happens, the players will continue to run and fight, which in the end is the most important thing". (via FCBarcelona.cat)

To proposal of the National Team, the Real Federación Española de Fútbol has summoned for the Tournament from the reference to the following players:

Five goals separate Leo Messi second-best performer in the history of FC Barcelona. The Argentine striker sum 189 and rapidly approaching the 194 that marked the mythical Laszi Kubala between 1950 and 1961. Further away, but already in the spotlight of the '10 'Barca is the Cesar Leon, who managed 235 between 1942 and 1955. It is 46 goals away. Given the competitive greed and impressive figures Messi to improve season after season, would not be unreasonable to see in number 1 of the 'Top' FC Barcelona striker ever in this course.

If it were another player, would not make much sense to remember today is five goals from Kubala. But there are no impossibilities Messi and when inspired, habitual, is capable of anything. Osasuna face, without going any further, had three goals and two balls crashed into the posts.

Messi, who at 24 has time and quality to spray all the records that put him within reach, does not think or César Kubala. Its concentration keeps on adding a victory in the stadium that already last season was instrumental in getting the winning goal after an assist from Adriano. In Mestalla, also will face with the striker with whom he shares the top spot in the scoring charts, Soldado (five goals). (via MD)

Mestalla has been scenario of surprising rear.
In 1993 Barça went out with Nadal that marked, of closing; the passing Liga, with Busi.

Pep Guardiola is reinvented in every game. Depending on the opponent's strategy and staffing available. Although Barca identified with the classic 4-3-3, changes have been happening in all lines, especially on defense, the most affected by setbacks in the form of injuries and illnesses. The three Pep ranked on the first day at Villarreal, with the sole defender Abidal born, they were not new: already tested at the Calderon last season and especially at the Mestalla, scene of tonight's match with an eleven revolutionary, Busquets and Pique Abidal centre-back between the two lanes and Alves and Adriano.

Mestalla has historically been the scene of epic games and defenses amazing, unprecedented and risky by Rijkaard. The most remembered, even by the spectacular final result (3-4), which is ranked Johan Cruyff on March 20, 1993, in the twenty-seventh day of the season. The Dutch, with the lower bound of Ferrer, Juan Carlos, Pablo Alfaro and Miquel Soler, not fielded a single marker born. And the only defense that ranked home, Koeman, much of the game played in front of the rear by Guardiola to assist in the creation. Nadal, who opened the scoring at minute 2 after a brilliant combination with Bakero, stood thereupon closing right flanked at one end, Goiko, and left for a midfielder, Eusebio. To Cruyff, who was also a priority for the exit of the ball, he was walking and matched Nadal with Penev and Goiko, Koeman, Pep and Eusebio, with the four means of attack that set his compatriot Guus Hiddink, Alvaro Arroyo, Fernando and Leonardo. Goiko and Eusebio did not move from the band, but Nadal, Koeman and Guardiola exchanged positions according to a marker who went mad. Penev, Fernando and Alvaro signed Valencia CF and the aforementioned goals Nadal, Txiki, Laudrup and Bakero, two minutes from time, the Blaugrana. Barca played off four behind after Alexanko entered by Bakero after the 3-4.

The position of 'Busi' was not the only surprise of the last league. Mascherano, Xavi and Iniesta, this loosely formed the midfield, Messi and Villa exercised hitch left the band to play what he likes, '9 '. (via MD)

Now they link to Cavani (Napoli), Cahill (Bolton) and Oscar (Inter Porto Alegre) like possible future reinforcements for Barça.

A Barca template on quality in all lines, but as sporting director reiterates Andoni Zubizarreta "we are always attentive to the market" with a view to the needs Pep Guardiola may have for your wardrobe or make it even better you already have.

While currently there is no specific objective, the fact that Barca network of scouts work tirelessly and around the world helps to be jumping reinforcements hypothetical names, always without the responsibility of the club and the dissemination interested third parties.

In recent days, Thiago Silva, center of Milan, has flirted openly with the idea of ​​being able to call at the Camp Nou, while parallel asguraba the English press that Barcelona is after Gary Cahill, Bolton Centre-back. England International, is 25 and can play both sides of the rear axle.

And the Italian media yesterday to put in orbit Edinson Cavani Barca. 24 and defending champion of the Copa America with Uruguay striker came to the last Gamper to Naples. Against Barca did not quite deliver the best image, but his hat trick at Milan on Sunday (3-1) has catapulted to the headlines and become the object of desire alleged Blaugrana.

Neymar, Damiao and Oscar

From Brazil added another name to the list. Neymar continue playing from Santos, and Leandro Damiao, a man '9 'militant turn Internacional de Porto Alegre. It could also be follow-up to Oscar Barcelona. Two years younger than his teammate Leandro Damiao, Oscar is an versatile offensive also is gaining attention in the ranks of the 'Seleção', characterized by a destabilizing football.

The trickle of names but the club will not end is distinguished by its extreme discretion in recent times. The 'mercato', however, never stops. (via MD)

The Federation is looking for a solution since the first preliminary round that should dispute the team blaugrana it coincides with the Club World Cup.

The original date was fixed on December 14, coinciding with the presence Blaugrana in Japan for the Club World Cup, and the FSF has urged the club to overtake the shock to the November 16, according to Catalunya Radio.

Spain already qualified for Euro, but the Federation is scheduled to play two friendly matches in November, first at Wembley against England and 15 November in Costa Rica. Therefore, international boat should play with the red `¿across the Atlantic a day before the game butler. This would prevent his presence.

The sport management of the club works to avoid that the defense continues its career far from Camp Nou.

The Barca sports management continues to work on viable formula to solve the protracted renovation of Eric Abidal. The first formal proposal, based on a fixed season with a second option, and was rejected both in economic terms and in time commitment. Still, both sides agreed to continue deepening the theme in search of alternatives capable of the agreement.

Ona Fm reported, the club would have already taken a new formula in an attempt to approximate positions. Barca does not work with the idea of ​​increasing their economic proposal, although they would agree to increase the duration of the contract and compensate for this through the plot chrematistic. The current offer two-year contract stipulate insured and the third season include the performance of the French contingent.

Abidal has instructed his agent to deal with the renewal process easy. Just a few days, at a press conference, the player justified the failure to sign because of his recent illness. The Frenchman found that the evolution of his health definitely influence your final decision. Once again, Abidal reiterated that his will is not other than to renew and continue his football career at Barcelona.

The player refused to have a firm offer from PSG, but from France insists that the club millionaire sports project in the capital includes the incorporation of a charismatic player Abidal. The sporting director, Leonardo, would be willing to ensure the years and the millions that currently the club has not yet reflected in its renewal. The case should be resolved before year end.

The combined blaugrana confronts the first great test in the League before one of the hardest rivals traditionally.

Mestalla ground is usually hostile to the club and further raise the level of demand to champion the last three leagues. Barcelona fans are measured to have you signed a leader full of victories in the first three games With the aim of adding the first championship victory after stumbling in Anoeta and confirm the excellent feelings shown on Saturday with eight goals against Osasuna.

The party has a notable qualifier value since a victory would lead Barca back to the table waiting for the morning meeting that dispute against Zaragoza Betis and, incidentally, also follow a point ahead of Real Madrid, regardless of result of whites against Racing. A victory in the stronghold che would have immediate practical effects, but also symbolic. The remaining competitors would again like Guardiola set imposes its law and can repeat the same story of recent years. The coup was complete authority with another win on Saturday against another major championship as Atletico Madrid. These six points would make it clear that the club is again the strongest candidate to win the tournament regularly.

Valencia is a litmus test to which everyone is aware, in the same way that the team was last season in a similar situation. Passed the seventh game of the season when Pep Guardiola received a Valencia leads the standings with three points. The game was uphill with a target of Pablo Hernandez shock at the very beginning. Barca had not spent the tie in the previous game also at home to Mallorca (1-1) and needed to win. The reaction came after the break. Two of the captains, Andres Iniesta and Carles Puyol were the authors of the targets that allowed to turn the score to win 2-1. Since then, the team sang, the doubts disappeared and took a run the club to the league title.

The team had to suffer, but he left with good feelings for having defeated a very competitive Valencia. Unai Emery has become very difficult encounters with Pep Guardiola, although it never has failed to overcome Santpedor in the six meetings between the two. Both coaches came to the bench for Barcelona and Valencia in the same season and have brought fresh air to Spanish football with very attractive proposals. The balance is four wins and two draws Guardiola, all in Mestalla.

The visit to the Valencia stadium is one of the most imposing respect for Barcelona, ​​but the statistics also show that FC Barcelona is the set that has won more times in the stadium che. In total, the club has won 30 of 76 matches in Mestalla, with 15 draws and 29 defeats. This is followed by Real Madrid, with 22 victories, the Athletic (18) and Athletic (11).

Barcelona fans will try to continue their winning streak in Valencia and not fall into the irregularity that would leak points, throughout the championship can weigh too much. Although Barca and Madrid have given this starting point, the amplitude of the two templates suggests that the battle between the two teams will be very intense and Guardiola wants to stay in front a new day.

Mourinho's start as clear favorites in their visit to Santander and the club will know when you start the game the result of his main rival. Whether to continue or to increase the head difference in the classification, the Blaugrana assume the crash as a challenge, who want to address three points in Valencia are always an added plus.

Olympique Marseille has had a bad start to the season. Didier Deschamps's team is bottom team in France and reinforcements for ...

Eric Abidal and Adriano start a priori advantage in the struggle to occupy the left full-back of FC Barcelona. Maxwell is the third option and this suggests that during the season can be one of the players with fewer opportunities.

Perhaps for this reason that other teams think that is one of the few players that could allow Pep Guardiola to be pierced. And one of the teams and think is the Olympique de Marseille. The French not only the bottom club, but his defense has been in the first six matches a real sieve, with 10 goals conceded. And, as has France, the left full-back is a weaker position following the departure of Taiwo and Heinze. Morel arrivals Traoré have solved nothing and now Deschamps wants a left back guarantee.

Maxwell is her first choice to reinforce that team place, but French leaders are aware that their employment will not be easy. And few players are willing to put the best team in the world ... (via SPORT)

The Manchester City on Monday released its mega-project to revive football in the state quarry 'skyblue' performance and get closer to the club in their work with lower grades. In fact, club officials do not hesitate to assert that "the club is a great role model."

The Manchester club has given a reasonable time of about six weeks for the fans and locals from running for or against approving the last major project of Sheikh Mansour, where economic plan to invest an amount close to 120 million to build what will be its new Academy, known as the 'Manchester City Football Academy' in East Manchester.

Pep Guardiola is convinced that the game against Valencia will be “a great match”, but warned of the problems Emery’s team could pose, especially given the great moment of form they are enjoying.

The boss praised the Valencia team and made it clear that it would not be an easy task to take the three points from Mestalla on Wednesday: “they are the league leaders right now and they are looking really strong. We are going to a tough ground and their fans will be right behind them. They also have a great coach who has shown he is capable of taking a team that has lost players like Villa, Silva and Mata and making them into a very competitive outfit, as they are showing at the start of this campaign”.

Tactics

Asked about his tactics for the match, Guardiola explained: “the most important thing isn’t whether we play with three or four at the back, it’s rather about finding a balance that allows us to play our attacking game and keep possession and our position on the pitch. Against Osasuna we played Alves up front and it worked okay, but we are more used to playing with a four man defence. Playing with three at the back in Mestalla might be a bit risky No system is infallible –we’ll make our decision tomorrow”.

The League three games in

The boss also gave his take on the league after the first three games: “ we didn’t need Madrid to lose at Llevant to realise that everything is going to be tough and each year it’s harder. Nobody is giving anything away in this league. The next two games aren’t about us laying down a marker : they will be two important games , but they won’t be decisive”.

One game at a time

The chance of starting a run of wins isn’t what Guardiola is concerned about either: “winning runs, records and things like that don’t take you anywhere –winning games comes from hard work and taking each game as it comes. Wining always helps of course, but this is a long distance race. However, I can assure you that we will go out tomorrow feeling very strong”.

Spanish Cup headaches

Guardiola also reacted to the RFEF decision to schedule Barça’s first Cup game on November 16th – a day after an international match day – as a result of Barça playing in the World Club Cup on the originally planned date: “it’s a problem and someone will have to sort it out. I can only field 4 B team players and I’ll probably only have three or four available from the first team squad. If the rest are with their national squads, I don’t know what we will do”.

After three games, two players are already top of the goalscoring charts with five goals. Soldado and Messi will be on the same pitch at Mestalla on Wednesday night.

The Liga champions face the current leaders in what promises to be a cracking encounter on Wednesday night, and the game also brings together the most effective strikers of the campaign so far: Soldado and Messi.

Soldado and Messi have been getting the lion’s share of the goals for Valencia and Barça this season. The Argentinian has been the author of 5 of the 15 goals his side has scored so far, and has also supplied assists for three of the others.

The Valencia forward has scored 5 of his team’s 6 goals this season, including an opening day hat-trick in the 4-3 defeat of Racing Santander. He has scored in every game so far, getting the only goals in 1-0 wins over Atletico Madrid and Gijón. Four of those goals have been the result of Soldado’s opportunistic eye in the area, while the other was an absolute scorcher against Atletico. However, Valencia is anything but a one-man show, for his job is generally to finish off the exquisite creative playmaking of players like Piatti, Pablo, Canales and Jonas. (via FCBarcelona.cat)
